Network Shared printing method. See Network Shared printing on page 5. Each computer must use the TCP/IP Protocol. The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration. If you are using a router, the Gateway address must be configured on the computers and the Brother machine. Windows...
In a larger network, we recommend a Network Shared printing environment. The “Server” or the “Print server” must use the TCP/IP print protocol. The Brother machine needs to have an appropriate IP address configuration unless the machine is connected via the USB or the parallel interface at the server.
This type of network has a central access point at the heart of the network. The access point can also act as a bridge or a gateway to a wired network. When the Brother wireless machine (your machine) is part of this network, it receives all print jobs via an access point.
Address Resolution Protocol performs mapping of an IP address to MAC address in a TCP/IP network. DNS client The Brother print server supports the Domain Name System (DNS) client function. This function allows the print server to communicate with other devices by using its DNS name.
Page 18
Note For the IPPS protocol, see Security protocols on page 143. mDNS mDNS allows the Brother print server to automatically configure itself to work in a Mac OS X Simple Network Configured system. (Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater). Telnet The Brother print server supports Telnet server for command line configuration.
The Web Services also let you check the current status of the machine from your computer. Web server (HTTP) The Brother print server is equipped with a built in web server that allows you to monitor its status or change some of its configuration settings using a web browser.
Note For HL-5380DN users If you do not wish to, or are unable to use the automatic installer or any of Brother’s software tools, you can also use the machine’s control panel to change network settings. For more information, see NETWORK menu (For HL-5380DN) on page 111.
APIPA, see Using APIPA to configure the IP address on page 180. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 192.0.0.192. However, you can easily change this IP address number to match with the IP address details of your network. For information on how to change the IP address, see Setting the IP address and subnet mask on page 13.

3 Double-click the Terminal icon. 4 Try pinging the print server from the Terminal window: ping ipaddress Where ipaddress is the print server IP address (note that in some instances it can take up to two minutes for the print server to load its IP address after setting the IP address). If you have tried a to d above and it does not work, then reset the print server back to its factory default settings and try from the initial setup again.
Make sure that the machine is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. Print the Printer Settings Page of the machine and check if the settings such as IP address settings are correct for your network. The problem may be the result of mismatched or duplicate IP address. Verify that the IP address is correctly loaded into the print server, and make sure that no other nodes on the network have this IP address.

The Brother print server is not found during setup by the Wireless Device Setup Wizard. Make sure that the machine is powered on, is on-line and ready to print. Move your Brother machine closer to your access point/router (or your computer for Ad-hoc) and try again.
Wireless connection problem The wireless network connection is sometimes disabled. The wireless network connection status is affected by the environment where the Brother printer and other wireless devices are located. The following conditions may cause connection problems: A concrete or metal framed wall is installed between the Brother machine and the access point/router.
Appendix Using services A service is a resource that can be accessed by computers that wish to print to the Brother print server. The Brother print server provides the following predefined services (do a SHOW SERVICE command in the Brother print server remote console to see a list of available services): Enter HELP at the command prompt for a list of supported commands.
If this is the case, simply create a null file on the host and specify the name of this file and its path in the configuration file. As with RARP, the print server will load its IP address from the BOOTP server when the printer is powered on. Appendix...
For AT&T UNIX-based systems, type: ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep rarpd The Brother print server will get the IP address from the RARP daemon when the printer is powered on. Using APIPA to configure the IP address The Brother print server supports the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol.
If your Administrator has configured the system to deliver IP addresses using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP your Brother print server can receive an IP address from any one of these IP address allocation systems. In which case, you will not need to use the ARP command. The ARP command only works once. For security reasons, once you have successfully configured the IP address of a Brother print server using the ARP command, you cannot use the ARP command again to change the address.
Appendix Using the TELNET console to configure the IP address You can also use the TELNET command to change the IP address. TELNET is an effective method to change the machine’s IP address. But a valid IP address must already be programmed into the print server.
